My Conjecture About Some Biblical Miracles

After watching a TV program, on History Channel called
"Proving God", I came to the conclusion that the
"scientists" explanations of how God accomplished things differed
from mine (and the Bible's).Scientists tend
tolook for natural explanations for
miracles in the Bible, while forgetting that since God created everything,
everything is natural.

A.The first "miracle" discussed was the crossing of the
Red Sea by the Hebrews.Essentially the scientists said that a force
of wind conditions could have separated the waters and a change in the winds
could have let the water return.One of
the scientists said that Moses could have been a very good and lucky weather
forecaster.I find a couple of things to
have been different than the scientific explanations.

1.God
told Moses to hold up the stick in his hand and the sea did its thing.God, not a wind did it; although God could
have used His wind and His waves to control things like Jesus did in Luke
8:22-25:"Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a
ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other
side of the lake. And they launched forth.But
as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake;
and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.And they came to him, and awoke him,
saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the
raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being
afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he
commands even the winds and water, and they obey him."

2. The Hebrews crossed on dry
ground.Exodus 14:16 says: "But lift
thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and
the children of Israel
shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea."That would have taken quite a while for the
wind to have dried out the muddy sea bed.Since the wind couldn't have dried out the sea bed, the Egyptians
couldn't have followed the Hebrews across the sea bed as their chariots would
have sunk in the mud. God dried out the sea bed, as He had His own plans for
the Egyptian army.The scientists called
this a bohr wave caused by a wind set down.

As we can see, it was Moses
and God who accomplished this miracle; not Charlton Heston and Cecil B.
DeMille.

B.Another example of Jumping off into the scientific deep end,
would be the search for the "Ark of the Covenant".Instead of starting off on a biblical
adventure, one should glean all the information possible from he original
source. It is my contention that the Bible tells us exactly where the "Ark" is.Revelation 11:19 states : " And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his
temple the ark of his testament:"Current scientific thinking is that the Ark
is buried somewhere in Jerusalem or perhaps in Ethiopia
(because the Jews there have blood sacrifices).

C.The scientists
have discovered what they call the "God gene" in our DNA."The God gene hypothesis proposes that a
specific gene (VMAT2)
predisposes humans towards spiritual or mystic experiences. The idea has been
postulated by geneticistDean Hamer, the director of the Gene Structure
and Regulation Unit at the U.S.National Cancer
Institute, and author of the 2005 book The God Gene: How Faith is
Hardwired into our Genes." (Wikipedia)The scientists conjecture that religion is the result ofenvironment while spirituality has very
little environmental component.The
supposition is that the God gene determines the amount of your spirituality,
whereas the Bible says it is your relationship with the Lord.One of the scientists said the Moses
experience with the burning bush could have been God talking with Moses or the
result of Moses eating a bad mushroom.I
have to ask if Moses ate the same kind of mushrooms every time he went up on
the mountain.

D.Dr. Andrew Newberg, director
o research of integrated medicine at ThomasJeffersonUniversity, has found that
the parietal lobe in the brain, in essence, quiets down when someone prays.Perhaps this phenomenon is what happens when
we humble ourselves and turn ourselves completely over to God's will, and are
enabled to speak or pray in tongues or prophesy.Dr.
Newberg calls this mentally loosing track of their surroundings or becoming one
with the universe.

Some say that science and
the Bible are not compatible. I present the following list of scientists as
proof that science is completely compatible with God and the Bible.All of the major disciplines ofscience were invented by Christian men who
believed in the Bible.This list was
compiled by the late G. James Kennedy.

Francis Bacon was the
inventor of the scientific method.

Joseph Lister – Antiseptic
Surgery

Louis Pasteur = bacteriology

Sir Isaac Newton – Calculus

Johann Kepler – Celestial
Mechanics

Robert Boyle – Chemistry

Georges Cuvier – Comparative
Anatomy

Charles Babbahe – Computer
Science

Lord Rayleigh – Dimensional
Analysis

Sir Isaac Newton – Dynamics

James Clark Maxwell –
Electrodynamics

Michael Faraday –
Electromagnetics

Ambrose Fleming – Electronics

Lord Kelvin – Energetics

Henri Fabre – Entomology of
Living Insects

Michael Faraday – Field
Theory

George Stokes – Fluid
Mechanics

William Herschel – Galactic
Astronomy

Robert Boyle – Gas Dynamics

Gregor Mendel – Genetics

Louis Agassiz – Glacial
Geology

James Simpson – Gynecology

Leonardo Da Vinci – Hydrolics

Matthew Maury – Hydrography

Blaise Pascal –Hydrostatics

Louis Adassiz – Ichthyologl

William Ramsay – Isotropic
Chemistry

Lord Rayleigh – Model
Analysis

John Ray – Natural History

Bernhard Riemann –
Non-Euclidean Geometry

Matthew Maury – Oceanography

David Brewster – Optical
Mineralogy

John Woodward – Paleontology

Rudolph Vichow – Pathology

Johann Kepler – Physical
Astronomy

James Joule = Reversible
Thermodynamics

James Clark Maxwell –
Statistical Thermodynamics

Nicholas Steno – Stratigraphy

Carolus Linnaeus – Systematic
Biology

Lord Kelvin – Thermodynamics

Humphrey Davy –
Thermokinetics

Georges Cuvier – Vertebrate
Paleontology

Each of these men believed
in the Creation as described in the Bible and the saving power of Jesus the
Christ.These are serious scientific
disciplines with documented proof.They
are not unscientific guessing like evolution, that has no scientific proof to
back it up.
